This Christmas, the NFL may be making moves to secure broadcasting rights for its two December 25 games in 2024. Reports suggest that the league is looking to secure between $50 million to $100 million for each game. Boomer Esiason of WFAN recently speculated that Netflix could be a potential partner for these games. He suggested that the NFL and Netflix could collaborate to broadcast the Christmas Day football games.
Netflix has shown that it is capable of streaming live events, having recently broadcasted a Tom Brady roast on a Sunday night. The potential partnership between the NFL and Netflix could open up new opportunities for both parties. However, the NFL’s negotiations for the broadcasting rights have put them in a bit of a tricky situation as they may need to take these games from networks like CBS and Fox. While the NFL has the authority to make these decisions, it may complicate their existing relationships with these networks.
Despite the challenges, the NFL’s highly valuable product and limited supply give them leverage to make decisions in their favor. This could lead to significant financial gain for the league as they explore new broadcasting opportunities for Christmas 2024, opening up new possibilities for both parties involved in this potential collaboration between two major entertainment brands.
